This book brings together a collection of essays by progressive
global activists in response to Samir Amin’s call for a new
global organization of progressive workers and peoples. Amin’s
proposal is applauded, criticized and reformulated by these
scholar-activists who are all proponents of ways forward toward a
more egalitarian world society. Samir Amin, a leading scholar and
co-founder of the world-system tradition, died on August 12, 2018.
Just before his death, he published, along with close allies, a
call for ‘workers and the people’ to establish a ‘fifth
international’ to coordinate support for progressive movements.
Amin, an Egyptian economist, was an intrepid intellectual and
organizer of popular movements whose scholar activism provided
inspiration to the global justice movement. The essays in this
volume are by other prominent scholar activists who praise,
critique and reconfigure Amin’s proposal in order to help
humanity confront the contemporary crisis of global capitalism and
move toward a more egalitarian global society. The chapters in this
book were originally published in the journal, Globalizations.
